Publishing manifestos

Más información sobre el libro

Publishing Manifestos spans nearly 100 years, beginning with figures like Gertrude Stein and El Lissitsky, who represent early modernist avant-garde and Russian constructivism. The majority of the material is from the 21st century, reflecting our current context as artists and individuals. In recent years, independent publishing, art publishing, and DIY culture have experienced remarkable growth. This collection includes critical texts from key figures in the field, such as Tauba Auerbach, Michael Baers, Derek Beaulieu, and Jorge Luis Borges, among many others. These contributions highlight diverse perspectives on publishing as an artistic practice and counterculture. The book also features a comprehensive WHO IS WHO of publishers involved in the Miss Read festival, with 600 entries detailing their activities since the festival's inception in 2009. This extensive compilation not only showcases influential voices but also serves as a vital resource for understanding the evolving landscape of publishing today.
